WHY YOU’LL NEVER LOOK YOUNGER

I know this sounds harsh but at almost 54 years old my mature skin can really looked aged if I follow the advice from younger beauty gurus. They mean well, but the fact is that they have different texture skin than I have and I think most mature women. Here’s why you’ll never look younger following a younger guru.

SKIN

Skin, texture, lines, wrinkles, it’s a fact that most of us mature women over a certain age have at least one of these issues. Even if you get botox and fillers our skin is much different than it was when we were younger. I started noticing a change when I turned 40. Everything I used on my skin stopped working. I was so frustrated! One of the first things that really changed was my under eye area. Concealers that worked started to settle into my fine lines and wrinkles. I shared a video on how to apply your concealer correctly. You can watch those videos HERE and HERE.

It’s not just the product but application is so important. I see these younger women putting on a boat load of concealer like a clown! The under eye area doesn’t need that much concealer. It may look nice on camera from a distance. But I’d love to see that mess up front, no lights in the real world!

PRODUCTS

I could use any product on my skin when I was younger and I could powder the hell out of it with my oily skin. But honey if I do that now I will look like I’ve aged myself 10+ years! And don’t even get me started with the whole face baking thing. Your face will look like it’s over done in a few ours after it’s been sitting and sinking into every single line, sag and wrinkle!

 

I shared a few videos of myself applying my makeup along with younger beauty gurus and a video that I applied my makeup to one of my older videos. Yes, I was watching those younger women following the advice and aging myself. Please watch these videos below. You’ll see how over doing it can really make a mess and age us.
